Update your WiKID servers for Spectre and Meltdown

Since basically every computer is affected by these bugs, your WiKID server is too.  You will need to run 'yum update' to get the latest kernel patches. (And it's a great idea to do this regularly.)  Reboot and you should have the fix. 

You can run:

rpm -q --changelog kernel | egrep 'CVE-2017-5715|CVE-2017-5753|CVE-2017-5754'

To see if you have the patch. It will return a bunch of comments if you do. If you don't see anything, try the process again.
